Yeah thanks Will, I've seen this video already a bunch of times, it sure does drop one's jaw! I wouldn't mind learning how to make money off of a downward market as well. The mainstream media always gives the brightest, most optimistic perspectives of "society", etc., as if progress is inevitable. But sometimes, you get to hear the darker side.

Yeah thanks Will, I've seen this video already a bunch of times, it sure does drop one's jaw! I wouldn't mind learning how to make money off of a downward market as well. The mainstream media always gives the brightest, most optimistic perspectives of "society", etc., as if progress is inevitable. But sometimes, you get to hear the darker side. No way they are letting that guy back on BBC. I recently caught a segment (somewhere) which also called into question the future of the EU and the global economy, and there was one guy who was talking about the impending collapse of the eurozone and potentially another european war. Some guy who wrote a book about how Germans are going into Greece as tax collectors and someone is going to get killed because Greeks are used to their tax collectors NOT collecting taxes...

<p>@Wanderer, prestige, respect, Heaven for faithers, good karma for Buddhists. People who preach altruism tend to often fail to consider psycho/social benefits in favour of strictly material benefits. That is a mistake.</p>
<p>It's the same reason why when they do psychometric tests on corporate leaders, then find the schizophrenia indicators quite common.</p>
<p>Our society is entirely based on killing the top competitor and enslaving the others. It is really not much different than machiavelism, or reality survivor shows. Do I like it? no... but ever time humanity has attempted to be "good" equally to all, it fails, because there will always be alpha humans to rule the masses. The most successful revolutions were the bloody ones, those which eliminated large components of the alpha class. Revolutions which failed to eliminate the alpha class are usually extremely short-lived. These "masses" needn't be traditionally god fearing either, they can simply chose to comply with the present world order. Consider all the gnu atheists who jump on the atheist bandwagon because it's the "in" thing to do, giving up the little teensy concept of gods, but keeping all of the stupid systems that have been created in gods' names. it's really no better. It's why I make no effort to 'convert' faithers, I don't want followers in my camp.</p>
<p>These "followers" whether faithers or atheists expect "promises" from politicians, instead of integrity and principals. Political systems based on promises have their going price, and people who vote according to political "promises" feed the system and deserve the crap governments we have.</p>
